Wow is this what the army produces now both of these men are clueless

703rd...... killed 10 enemy vehicles for every tank they lost........... where is any proof of this. I'm in no way showing disrespect for this unit and what they did in WW2, but the figures seem to be ??

Anti tank guns or artillery kill tanks.... not tanks.

@01:56 >Man packed. >1,300#/ 6 sections That gives you ~217# per man plus assumed partial combat load. Assign 2 men per disassembly? Assume barrel is heaviest yet least bulky. Springs and gears probably suck. How much longer is time to employ and disperse in 9 sections?

I love the way he points to the tank (in case we can't see it)

I’m a 91A working on D8 now so happy to find this . I will be going for this the moment I get to my first duty station. Thank you for the video

My father was tank commander 601st Tank Destroyer Battalion from the beginning with M 3 Tank Destroyer in Africa and Italy

Dad was a Marine artilleryman in the Pacific in WWII. He was trained on this and was told it was designed to be hauled by mules. He later found out Marines were used as mules. He and another guy walked the 200 pound barrel thru fire in the surf on the murderous approach to Tarawa. He told me they gave the Marines all the safety and protection the people of the United States.....could put into a khaki shirt. Semper Fi

Great video.

It's this open to the public?

My late father-in-law was the driver of an M10 which went ashore on D-Day in support of Canadian troops (Juno beach). He was a member of J troop, 248 battery, 62nd Anti Tank Regiment, Royal Artillery. The regiment was issued with the M10 3 inch gun variant in early 1944. His M10 sustained damage in an allied minefield (not marked on his maps) forcing him and one other crew member to abandon the vehicle and coming under enemy fire from machine gunners but made it back to their lines without injury. Two days later with a replacement crew he was issued with an M10 Achilles, a British modified version mounted with a 17 pounder gun. This gun being more effective than the 3 inch gun resulted in the enemy targetting the Achilles in preference to the Wolverine. To make it difficult for the enemy to distinguish which was which, crews wrapped sacking around the barrel to hide the counterbalance weight that made it easy for the enemy to tell what was a Wolverine and what was an Achilles. He came through the war unscathed and was demobbed in July 1945, having served with the 62nd regiment since May 1939 when he enlisted. I hope you have found this interesting. Thx.

Talk slower please

ฉันเข้าใจว่ามีระบบเรดาร์ที่ตามวิธีกระสุนณจุดตกอยู่แล้วแต่เราอยากเห็นภาพจริงๆ

Interesting. Thanks, General. I am currently reading Fenelon's book entitled, Four Hours of Fury; the story of the US Army's largest airborne invasion into Nazi Germany. They mention this field artillery piece.

Salute, with a Roy Clark accent…think we all like arty.

Great informative video.

Great Job explaining that, the museum looks fantastic, I hope I can view it someday.

Wolverine was in my understanding, the British Lend-Lease and Canadian configuration, Yes / No? The US Used the 3" Gun I believe, possibly due to supply restraints and great restoration there, the Sar with Circle were invasion markings and was used by other Allied Forces (Not Just The Americans) in the Mediterranean and France-Through Europe. Not trying to be a smarty pants, just a question I guess.

As an Air Force 2T3 I hope that we can start transitioning to ASE certifications and taking it and the people that earn them seriously. What a great way to encourage continuous learning and be able to identify the people that really do know there shit.

If memory serves, this was the vehicle involved in the feat of badassery that won Audie Murphy the Medal of Honor. A whole bunch of M10s had been knocked out when Murphy arrived on scene. He jumped up on one -- which was on fire, and still had its fuel and ammo load -- and used the turret .50-cal to hose down the approaching German troops, meanwhile calling artillery fire down on his own position (the Germans were that close). Only when the .50- cal ran dry did he get off the M10, which exploded behind him.🎉

14 limbers, 6 for the guns, 6 for the caisson, 1 for traveling forge, 1 for battery wagon.

The platform that Audie Murphy used to hold his famous one man stand. The one he used was on fire. He mowed down a lot of men with the 50 cal.

Just out of curiosity. Will there something SM's could put on standard OCP uniform to identify them in a field environment?

For a general, I'd expect you to have done this without cards. Wouldn't you expect that of a major or captain? So tired of stars' hypocrisy.

Deathtrap

does anyone know what that sleeve on the barrel is for? was this some experiment or a post war repair or..

Would be interesting to see an example broken down into its 6 parts - get a feeling for man-portability

Δεν μπορώ να ξεχάσω τον ξερό εκκωφαντικό κρότο που έκανε αυτό το πυροβόλο! Αν θυμάμαι καλά διότι έχουν περάσει + 30 χρόνια από τότε είχε βεληνεκές σχεδόν 7-8 χιλιόμετρα. Δυστυχώς ο στρατός μας, δεν μας χορηγούσε ωτοασπιδες οι οποίες ηταν απαραίτητες για τις βολές με αυτό.

The fastest tank destroyer in low tier US

your kitchen stove with tracks....

1300÷6=216.6 ibs. That's heavy af for man portable. Must still roll... i guess

*GIVE THE GUY A BLLOODY MIC !!!!!!!!!!!*

75mm > everything else

I have (declassified) materials from the Combat Dev. Cmd-Armor School that outlines previously un-communicated dangerous aspects of the M551. Including a recommendation from CDC that the fatality risks from "catastrphic failures" of the M81 gun be communicated to the Ass't Army COS as a requirement for standardizaton. The desired incidence was less than 1:1,000,000. In Europe, they were to expect 1:400:000. In Vietnam, 1:175,000 (NOT due to enemy action). Personally, I never trusted the combustible cases...and with good reason. See my other comment on the pre-mature (in-tube!) detonations of the XM409 round. I was more than "qualified" on the M551.

When I visited the TSF, the "lecturer" was misinformed about purpose of the receiver/transmitter box over gun. He called it LASER guidance. It wasn't, it was IR-guidance. The Hughes LASER Rangefinder was not on any pilot vehicles at all, production vehicles WELL after I tested it at the Armor Board in 1972. It's a separate device built onto the TC cupola sometime in late '70's, usually with the TTS. I was on M551's at NCO Academy AND M551 Sheridan School (D-1-1) in '71, Vietnam 2/11th ACR '72 & the Armor Board 72-73, also on M60A2 IPT using same system in '73. Everything about the M551 FCS sucked, including fatalities it caused. The XM409 HEAT round had a nasty rep for pre-mature (read: in-tube) detonations. And cases that combusted when it wasn't supposed to.

Good job gentleman! My boy is in training there and it is good to see the quality of the facilities and dedicated instructors. I am 100% confident that he is in good hands. Thanks for doing what you do. It does not go unnoticed.

Did you see that evaporator???!!!😮The mashed fins on your evaporator core will not allow the heat to go into the evaporator, therefore system ventilation supplying hot, unrefrigerated air to the passenger compartment!! Purging the access hoses after connecting the gauges & freon supply would've been a cool thing to do, too. I looked at 11:40 again, that evaporator will not accept heat from the airflow!! I'm sure you will not try to reuse it with out alot of handy-work to the evaporator fins. Thanks for allowing me to see the presentation.

SSG here, couple things (noticed not many soldiers will see this but hey) 1. Number one cause of over heating is wrong coolant from the operators. The FLEET brand coolant is not always 50/50 and if the mechanics do not teach the operators about mixture. The coolant will be to rich and cause overheat because it is unable to transfer heat effectively. 2. I don’t think anyone mention the fan clutch relay by the passenger window. Those go out A LOT, and work with the fan by turning it on when it goes about operating temp. 3. The oil cooler also cools the transmission, that is 90% of the coolers job for these trucks. Reason the oil lines go to the transmission. 4. There is a tool for coolant and oil cooler fins that allow for repair, but I haven’t seen one in FRS or contact trucks ever.

Shit, slap that on a humvee and the troops will love you. Especially if you put that system at the company level. Then disperse it along the line. No more begging for fire support. Because you got your support right there with you. Let me know what you think.

No disrespect but depending on the terrain the US M1917 Light Tank could actually reach speeds as high as 12.5mph to 15mph.

I can make this just need home depot credit card.

Promote SSG Hollis !!!

The US Army should not hide away rare vehicles away from the public to see. It just seems wrong to me.

Very Nice ❤ this Video!

BOOM ORDNANCE

The Unauthorized History of the Pacific War Podcast brought me here. Apparently these howitzers were used to great effect, defending Edison’s Ridge, on August 12-14, 1942, during the Battle for Guadalcanal.

Ouch!

A few years ago my buddy was making a no2 carriage for his 12pdr napolian & mannaged to drop the barrel all 1200lbs of it on his foot. He came to my house even before going to the doctor, that foot looked like a stepped on grape. Just remembering back as hes gone now (last year) but not because of the foot.

have accountability of your own tools hooah! go ordiance!

WWHY IS THIS 240P?!?!??!
